So if you’re reading this + struggling to stand up for yourself - what u want + need…
I get it.
I just want to encourage you to follow your intuition.
You are so important and your needs are as well! 🫶🏼
self advocacy and neurodivergence ( 🧵 )
It no longer surprises me how individuals in positions of authority/power take advantage of others especially those belonging to marginalized communities.
BC I’ve always shut down in the past.
I’ve smiled + been the bigger person which really only helped the other people out.
Meanwhile I struggled.
This time, I’m breaking the cycle. I’m showing my brain + body that I believe that this is important. That I am important + my needs
Unless eating chicken tendies on the reg is a superpower then sure 🤣
But no seriously can there be more nuanced discussion on the strengths and challenges of being on the spectrum?
Like no it’s not all doom + gloom but it’s also not ☀️ + 🌈 either. (2/)
I love [insert sarcasm here] when I see books/articles/podcasts basically all the things talking about how ADHD/Autism/AuDHD is a superpower!
Like what?
I know you’re trying to be empowering but I just feel beyond exhausted from doing a “basic” chores list. (1/2)
the AuDHD cycle with clothes is so annoying…
Buy nice cute clothes
Never wear them
Donate them (months later)
RESTART CYCLE
The problem is feeling like a bum but I just wanna look nice AND be comfy!!!
SEND HELP 😩🥴🤦🏻♀️
let me tell you as someone with AuDHD, I can’t stand drs appointments.
1. Time Blindness
2. Sensory Sensitivity
3. I don’t be trusting just anyone
Like yall request for ppl to be at the appointment by a certain time just to keep em waiting…
Make it make sense!
Having a LINE 3 in your HD profile can be annoying AF…
Bc ppl automatically assume that you make mistakes on purpose or cuz you careless…
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Nah homie, how about I’m experimenting to see what actually fits + feels supportive.
Then I can commit to it! 😉
random thought:
the word narcissist has become so mainstream that people quick to label exes/partners.
Meanwhile there’s other types out there like “antisocial” + they very similar to narcissists.
LEARN the DIFFERENCE so you don’t repeat the cycle in the next relationship.
AuDHD is a trip man…
1 minute you wanna socialize, connect, + experience new things.
next you’re like - do I even belong here, it’s so loud, + peopling is exhausting.
meanwhile you was there for like 30mins 😆 but when that social 🪫 low it’s time to go.
if this year taught me anything it’s that I’m sick + tired of masking. It’s beyond fkn exhausting!
You don’t like:
my special interests
I’m “too sensitive”
I get distracted when you talk about nonsense
OH FKN WELL!
It’s not a villain era
It’s an UNMASKING JOURNEY, period!
as someone who has been into astrology + numerology since adolescence, it’s wild to me how people can still say it’s all BS.
Like really homie? I can legit tell you all about yourself simply by knowing your birthday. 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve always been into elemental energy so 👀 at my NC from this lens has been 🙌🏼 .
It also gives me a greater understanding of the best way to carry myself energetically in each area of my life based on the elements present in that specific house.
Definitely a game changer!
I had a great convo awhile back with my friend @blucameron about astrology + methodology.
this led me back to my own natal chart + being curious about the intuitive way I can interpret it for myself.
